AJ - how's the naturalization application coming along? Any movement for you all?

Yea, interview in 5 weeks. Newark has same-day oath, so assuming she passes civics test, almost exactly 4 months start to finish.

That's fantastic! Jacksonville didn't have same-day oath, but he was naturalized on 4th of July - which had to be the coolest thing. Also, if you're interested in getting her a very cool gift, (cuz really, what do you give someone for naturalizing?) have a flag hung over the US Capitol for her.

Another gift? What?

Well, I had a flag flown over the Capitol for my husband. It is very cool - look on your US Congressman's webpage and you should find something about the flag. For a very small amount, (we did it for $25) they will fly a flag in your wife's name in honor of her receiving her US Citizenship, over the Capitol. It comes with a signed certificate from your Congressman and the Architect of the Capitol. Then, you take the flag to Michael's and get a special flag box for like $20. Present the flag in the box, with the certificate together. My husband was truly touched - got very emotional when he saw it.

That is very sweet!

I agree! Staashi, I know to ask you if I ever need help coming up with an amazing gift idea. We haven't applied for naturalization even though he's been eligible for it for a bit. It's just another big chunk of money that we don't feel like spending right now, and we don't feel rushed about it yet. I guess eventually we'll do it, and then I might steal your idea.

Please, steal away! I think it is one of the coolest things. My hubby was always like - "I'm never going to be one of those flag-waving Americans", so I had my doubts in giving him this gift. When he opened up the box, he was very, very touched. My aunt gave him my grandfather's casket-draped flag (he was USCG), he was so overcome with emotion. He now proudly displays both of the flags in our living room.

PS - Stina, it is alot of money. My mom gave him a check made out to USCIS in the N-400 amount as a Christmas gift. It was very cool.

BUT I have heard from fellow bloggers that they are fabulous; specially the eye stuff and the tweezers. You sellin'? I'm buyin'

What I like best is whilst the mascara etc come in smaller containers, it means I don't feel bad throwing them out when the use by date comes, sometimes I've used them up to.
